I’m telling you. Kotchman for leadoff. This team has zero speed, so why should the leadoff hitter be any different?

vabravesfan, he missed TWO of them in that AB. If he had a manager that preached base hits instead of 3-run HR, he wouldn’t have been over-swinging.
Yes. He’s 3-4 tonight (was 3 for 3 before that AB), but he used a COMPLETELY different swing in the AB in which he failed.
Some guys are BORN to hit with the bases loaded. Rotten-kotch isn’t one of them.

Uga, when will you realize that our frustrations are not simply directed at Kotchman. Albeit some of our posts may contain the word “Krotch” occasionally. It’s just pent up frustration with this garbage team, broski, get used to it, we’re in for a long summer.

ugaman, you’re wrong. I’m OK with guys missing pitches. But he over-swung on BOTH of the fastballs he missed that AB.
Managers who ask for “hack-n-jack” ball, get exactly that when a simple base hit takes the lead.
Not sure why I actually expect NEW players to bring anything different to the table, when being led by the stubborn ole’ mule.

Wow, quick hook by Bobby. I must say that Bennet is about the only player I see come on the field that makes me want to get negative. I can’t see for the life of me why he’s on the team. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen him hold inherited runners (why his ERA is so low) or get 3 straight outs.

No one wants to kick him off ugaman, but the point i’m making is with bases loaded and down by one run, a walk ties the game. He swung at a ball. Know the situation. He’s had a great game but were still losing.

Somehow I doubt Kotchman and his 33 career HRs was up there looking to go deep…he just missed, same as Yunel. It does happen sometimes

oh good grief, N8. Kotchman hasn’t hit a HR all year… do you really think he was trying to hit one there? Or that Cox was asking him too? That’s ridiculous. He worked the count to his favor, got a good pitch to hit, swung hard (which is how you get hits in the majors) and just missed it. I’ll take my chances on that swing every day.
Stop whining, people! This is a good baseball game.

Ya know, when the Braves first started the run of divison titles…..they came back and won a lot of games late.
That’s all apart of confidence which this team doesn’t have and the Braves as a whole haven’t had for a long time.
